1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Inhibiting ferroptosis represents a promising strategy to combat ferroptosis-related diseases. Here we show that 428, a selenide-containing noscapine derivative, effectively inhibits ferroptosis in various cell lines by enhancing the stability and activity of GPX4. TRIM41 was identified as a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase of GPX4 and 428 was demonstrated to bind to the selenocysteine residue Sec46 of GPX4 via the formation of a transient and reversible Se-Se bond, thereby blocking the interaction between GPX4 and TRIM41, stabilizing GPX4 and enhancing its activity. This unique dynamic covalent binding mode was preliminarily validated by structure-activity relationship analysis and molecular docking studies. Importantly, we demonstrated that 428 treatment alleviates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in vivo by inhibiting ferroptosis. Overall, our studies identified a novel stabilizer and activator of GPX4, offering a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of ferroptosis-related diseases and uncovering a new mechanism for regulating GPX4 degradation.
